"The book is one to possess as well as read, not only for the biographical essay on David Gray,-an essay of much more than deep interest, of rare power, and a strange unimpassioned pathos,but also for certain passages of fine original criticism, occurring in essays, thickly sprinkled, we admit, with foreign substances-on poetry, religion and aims which modern poets should put before them."-Spectator.
